All up to date. Thankyou.
I've seen a couple of things about this but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.Someone gave Adobe the finger and built something special through decompiling with AI, then opensourcing this:

Have you tried Photon Studio and Open CAD Studio?Opening salvo tested and its neat, but seeing that its early Alpha I will give the apps a pass. So nice to use for home and small business. Still crap for proper commercial env.
EG PhotoCraft content aware tools are lacking and CADCraft fail spectacularly hard when I open one of our work designs with full building designs. Even smaller projects stutters like the app is suffering from epilepsy.

I asked one of my team to check out PDFCraft as a possible alternative to acrobat. Potentially I would roll it out instead of Acrobat ReaderOpening salvo tested and its neat, but seeing that its early Alpha I will give the apps a pass. So nice to use for home and small business.

Freecad might be worth another look if what you mentioned was a while ago. It's pretty capable these days.Not personally, Dont know if any of our designers used it before either, suspect its a "No" as I once gave em Freecad to look at instead of SketchUp and I could swear they had like mini heart attacks cause the UI was different.
Will def give Photon a try. I use Photoshop for project moc ups in quote phase.
